Paralyzed bride surprises everyone by walking down the aisle!

Jaquie Goncher was paralyzed from the neck down in a swimming accident at 17. The doctors told her she would never walk again, but she proved them wrong just 6 months later when she was able to stand. Still, for the past 8 years, she’s been mostly restricted to her wheelchair. A year before her wedding she gave herself a goal, to stand AND walk on her big day. “On your wedding day, everybody’s looking at you, so you want to feel the most beautiful. I totally believe you can be bomb in a wheelchair, but I didn’t want to be defined by that.”

Not only did her hard work and determination allow her to walk down the aisle, she got to have her first dance…ever…with her husband Andy! “He was my cane, because I would hold on to him the entire time”
